Reacción a "They are organising the first scientific conference with AI systems as authors and reviewers"

My 35 years of experience as an AI researcher taught me that AI does not qualify for academic authorship. 

Academic papers are a unique form of publications due to expectations for innovation and discovery. Authorship is a sacred section in academic publications. We must pause and ask: what has changed to demand authorship for an AI?  

Academic authorship has four corners: contribution, integrity, accountability, and consent; AI can’t get held accountable and does not have the will or agency for consent; current AI systems can’t guarantee integrity without human oversight; simply put, authorship of academic papers is a human responsibility and is inappropriate for an AI. 

AI has been making scientific discoveries since its inception. Thanks to large language models, significant advances have been made that allows the AI to partially or fully automate the scientific method in defined contexts, opening the possibility for AI to automatically generate academic papers. 

Authorship is a different pool game! As an advocate for AI and as an AI psychologist who designs and diagnoses AI cognition and behaviour, there is a sacred line I do not cross; the line that distinguishes humans from machines; academic authorship is only meaningful for humans, not AI.
